A day after saying that the Warriors "obviously" were going to make changes this summer to avoid having a second straight bad season, coach Don Nelson offered more details Tuesday of his planned makeover.
Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson starting in the backcourt, Jamal Crawford coming off the bench, Corey Maggette and Kelenna Azubuike returning to their natural small-forward positions, and Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright splitting time at power forward.

"We've got our center position pretty well taken care of," Nelson said. "We've got a great sixth man (Maggette). The people that we've invested our money in ... (Ellis) hasn't been able to play all year," Nelson said.

"We've got a lot of talent at the other positions that's either going to help us acquire somebody who's a good fit, or going to be able to rise up and be part of what we're doing."-- San Francisco Chronicle

ugh, I just don't see that lineup with a winning record. I see Randolph and Biedrins fouling out immediately and maggs playing the 4 to D up tough PFs. both of those situations result in a warrior loss. in general, the same no defense / streaky offensive product we've seen for the entire nelson era.

If there is no moving SJ our of the SG spot then monta better learn the PG roll by the end of this season. right now it looks like:

if they make jax our staring pg.................................................................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................
that would be my response... complete silence

As much as I despise the Monta at PG thing, Jackson at PG would be even worse!!!

Nellie said something like that a couple of times when the season was just starting, but I haven't heard it again lately. Hopefully he ain't even considering it, because it would be a complete disaster.
